People,... people!!!
I'll remind you that this same gentleman put his entire collection up for auction last year, at some pie-in-the-sky exhorbitant price, and there were no takers! I then went on to comment, that although he puts up the facade of trying to sell his immaculate collection to please his wife, he's priced himself so outside of reality that he'll never sell that load, and therefore gets to keep it "by default". It's simple psychology working on the wife, IMO.
Now, take a close look. When I describe myself as an avid enthusiast of working recorders and (mostly) analog audio engineering, but not a "keep it under glass" -type collector, THIS is the exact example that I contrast myself to, part deux. It was impressive last year as it is this year, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that there will be "0-bids" on this grand collection of stuff. No doubt, it's a great collection, and maybe this person is as much an enthusiast and hands-on oriented collector,... and maybe he just had the extra scratch to buy nice shelving with glass fronts, which I do not, but take it from me,... when I say
"keep it under glass collector", this is the EXACT person and collection I'm contrasting myself to. Okay, sorry for being redundant!!!
Eh,... I'm more of a
keep it under a plastic trash bag type collector. I simply can't afford all that glasswork!
I don't begrudge him of his beautiful collection of stuff, but there will simply be no buyers. I don't often take to predicting the future, but I'm pretty assured of saying that at this time, as I said it before.
Anyway, I spent my last extra $50K about 9 months ago!!! Timing is e'thing!!!
If I were to buy this massive collection, I could....
dare I say...
RULE THE WORLD!!!
